The Boston & Maine.

The Boston & Maine r. II. Co.
have at length succeeded in leasing
the Northern X. R., thereby getting
control of the great system operated
by the Boston & Lowell, as by previ-
Gus arrangement. Accordingly the
Passumpsic, the old z. q o.. and all
the New Hampshire roads controlled
by the Boston & Lowell, will be OPP
Grated by the Boston & Maine. This
puts most Of the roads running into
Boston from the east under the con-
troll of a powerful corporation.
It's not supposed that there will be
any great change in the management
of roads in this vicinity. Whatever
may be the result of the change, no
injury has yet been felt by the lease
of the Passumpsic. Certainly there
has never been shown heretofore so
great a willingness to put things in
repair and convenience as during the
last year. We look for the same
spirit hereafter. The reduction of
common fares, and the introduction
of cheap mileage tickets has made
Travelling much less expensive on this
road

The New York Tribune

1t has always been a particular
satisfaction to US that we have known
the New York Tribune from the time
it was the Ne1c Yorker and Log Cub
IN in 1S39-40. down to the present
dav. The Tribune has not always
been a power in the country, but
it puts in strong and able work for
good and the right side OF late
years they have made a speciality of
agricultural matters: it discusses all
public questions with great force,
and gives prominence to pensions for
soldiers. 1t stands for the interest
of the people every time and thus
deserves its great circulation and
influence. We are not surprised
therefore, to learn that it is soon to
be enlarged, and that three presses,
costing 100000, with a speed of
10000 printed and folded papers
per hour, are now being put into the
office. In this connection let us re-
fer both to its prospectus in another
column, and our own clubbing rates
with it in another place.

The Unamerican Anarchist.

or the seven Anarchists, four of
whom suffered death in Chicago Fri
dav, only one is to the manor born.
This fact shows that anarchism is not
indigenous to our soil. In fact it is
the very opposite of everything that
- essential to popular government.
Respect for law, property and per-
sonaI rights is as essential to any
sort of government as are AIR and wa
Ter to life. The Anarchist. like the
Nihilist, is a mere destructive. lie
is more dangerous in republic than
an a despotism, for he forms part
of the governing power. There - an
excuse for the Anarchist in Europe.
for he has no show in the government.
Here he has no excuse fOr he Is
part of the government.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1887-11-21

There can be no doubt that the
fate of the Chicago Anarchists is a
righteous one. They created reign
of terror. Their methods were as
cowardlv as they were deadly. 1t
NAV be said that they were in de-
gree irresponsible. So probably are
all criminals. The success of the
bomb of American government would
be a terrible fact, and the first dire
full use of it calls for swift and igno-
mineous punishment. Any other is
sue would settle the safety OF society
and shake the foundations of gov
eminent in every city in the country
While these men therefore justly
suffer death, it is a grim satisfaction
to know that they are all importations
with one exception. Spies came
from Germany; Schwab from Bava-
ria: Fielden from England; Engel
from Germany; Lingg from Baden;
Fischer from Germany: Parsons
alone Is credited to the United States,
being a native of Massachusetts. The
fate of these. men should settle the
question that anarchism is not to be
permitted to be transplanted from
Europe into the United States
This must be a country of law and
order

Prof. of agriculture.
Gen. VIM. W. CIRCUITS Farming
Enterprise.

About 1875 Gen. Grout purchased
the old Grout farm, so called, situat
ed in the extreme southeastern part
of Kirby, on the road leading from
st. Johnsbury to West Concord. The
farm was originally settled by The
Ophilus Grout, General Grout's grand
father. in 1892. and. we believe, has
benin the family ever since. 1t for
merlv consisted of three hundred
acres, more or less, and was long
considered one of the best among a
number of good farms on Moose riv-
er. The land lies along the north
side of the river and extends back
toward the summit of high range
of hills, which protect this farm and
vicinity somewhat from the cold
winds of the north and west. The
farm at present contains 40 acres,
considerable having been bought on
since Gen. GTout took possession of
1t. The rock formation is of a slate
character. and in the high pasture
lands the lodges project out of the
ground, and at some points are some
what PERCEPTIONS. At present there
are 10 acres IN NOW fields and till
age, the balance in pasture and wood
land. Twenty-Five or thirty acree
lie along the river and between that
and the road. This is not on the river
level, and is not subject to spring or
fFeshet oyerfiows of the river. The
whole territory is underlaid with a
hard substratum of a clayey nature,
through which little water can pass.
Before any undertaking was resort

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CO CORRESPONDING OF THE MONITOR I

Washington, Noe. 9Th.
One of the most widely known and
popular of congressman is the late
American minister to Turkey, the
Hon. S. 5. Cox, of New York, who
is known to fame as ''Sunset," and
as the wit of the House as well.
Messrs. Cox and Mills are the only
members prominently named for
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee of the fitch congress, but as
the New Yorker declines that great
honor in advance, the Lone Star
statesman appears to have the field
to himself, and will probably attain
the distinction to which he aspires.
Mr.. Cox has just reached the Cap
ital, and he expresses some interest
ing views upon political and legisla-
tive questions, especially the tariff,
which he believes will be materially
modified this winter by the passage
of compromise measure repeating
the tobacco tax and placing a large
number of the necessities of life on
the free list.
Of contemplated legislation none is
of more general interest or import
ance to the United States than the
proposed postal telegraph, WHICH finds
many advocates, particularly among
those statesmen who were influential
in pressing the interstate commerce
bill to a successful issue. In fact, it
seems that the country's only safe
hope and protection against the
grasping greed of the grinding tele=
graph monopoly, is Government cons
troll of that system of communication.

The democrats carried New York
chiefly because of the efforts of the
Personal Liberty Leauge in favor of
Cook and the Personal League is
composed in great part of German
Americans, who generally vote the
republican ticket. The democratic
candidate for secretary of state in
New York. Cook, was a German
American of good character, against
whom nothing could be said. He
had experience in office and was
opposed by a weak candidate, who
was running on a memory. Mr..
Cook had a tremendous advantage
of having the enthusiastic support of
the brewers of the state to which he
himself belonged. And it is this
vote which accounts for the demo-
cratic success in New York and not
a national issue.

The State Agricultural College.

The fact is recognized by the Uni
versitv of Vermont and State Agri-
cultural College, that there are many
farmers sons in the state who desire
to avail themselves to pass the en-
trance examinations, and have mel
ther the time nor means necessary to
complete the full four years agricul-
tural course. Many of them also can
not spend the whole year in study,
but have some spare time during the
winter months. For the benefit of
this class, it is proposed the coming
winter to institute a short course in
agriculture. In modern scientific
farming, none of the sciences play a
larger part than chemistry, and a
knowledge of some of the more gen
orally applicable principles of this
science is fast becoming a necessity
to the successful farmer. 1t is in
this line that it is proposed to put
most of the work this winter. The
great objection raised heretofore
against laboratory work has been its
cOstliness. To Ohviate this and to
make course open and available to
any and every farmers son, it has
been decided, as an experiment for
this winter, to require no entrance
examination, charge no tuition fees
for chemicals or apparatus. Three
lines of study will be offered. lst.
A study of the laws of plant growth :;
the amount and kind of food required
by different plants, (the student to
test this by actually growing plants
in the laboratory under various con-
ditions) the effect of fertilizer and
the proper methods for their use !;
chemical methods for analyzing fer
tilizers homemade fertilizers eX-
haustiOn Of land; rotation of crops,
etc. ID. A course of study in feed
ing cattle: treating, among other
things, of the different elements of
folders and the office of each meth
| DDS of analysis of folders artificial
/ digestion of fodder: rules for the
compromising of rations to produce
the particular kind of growth desired.
Sd. A course of study on milk and
its products; analysis of milk, OF
butter, of cheese; tests for adultera-
ton of milk, both laboratory tests
and such as could be used on the
farm or in the factory detection OF
oleomargarine scientific principles
underlying butter-making, etc.
The first session will begin Nov.
%. 1887, and close December %.

And that it will come sooner or later
there Is little reason to doubt. unless
the lobbyists can raise enough Doodle
to capture congress, which | do not
believe is purchasable, as a whole.
though there are reasons for conclud-
ing that some members have their
regular prices for votes and influence.
If that were not true the occupation
of the lobbyist would he gone, and
these persuasive individuals would
disappear from the corridors Of the
Capitol.
Other Legislation that is needed
and will be attempted is a change i'm
both the time of electing congress-
men and the date for the meeting of
that body. At present a congress is
chosen thirteen months before it con-
venes, which is neither in accord
with our plan of popular representa-
ton, nor with the advanced ideas that
dominate and permeate the modern
republican system of government.
The right way would be to elect con-
gressmen in November, and have the
session begin, not on the first Mon
day in December, as now, but on the
first Monday in January. following
the election. Thus at a single stroke
of goodly policy dispensing with the
long interim and the useless holiday
adjournment, which latter, coming in
two or three weeks after the opening
of the session, seems to your cores
pendent to be largely in the line of a
farcical performance for a body of
such power and dignity as the nation
al Legislature.
There is a good deal of gossip
floating around the White House
which those who are well-posted
claim to have some foundation in
fact. 1t is said that among the first
communications that will 90 from the
president to the senate will be Secre-
tary Lamar's nomination for supreme
justice, and that Postmaster General
Villas will be appointed to the vacant
portfolio, to be succeeded himself by
Don NJ. Dickinson of Michigan.
merely give these reports for what
they are worth, and that may be much
or little.

majority. This is fine nest egg for
